Reform Jews do not generally attempt to pronounce the Tetragrammaton. In prayer, like Orthodox Jews, they substitute the Hebrew word Adonai, meaning "my Lord." Most Reform Jews do not use the word ha-Shem, "The Name", the preferred term used by Orthodox Jews outside of prayer. Instead, many Reform Jews use either the English word God or the Hebrew Adonai. (Reform Jews even can point to Halacha to justify this. Use of the term Adonai is part of a fence around the Torah law forbidding abuse of the name of God. Halacha includes a law forbidding making a fence around a Fence. Use of the term HaShem is the result of such a fence. The Orthodox, however, have the counterargument that HaShem has been used by generations of Jews for so long that its use is binding tradition, where halacha defines any tradition that has been in force for at least four generations to be binding.)

Where do Jewish people pray and worship?

Jews pray to God, or as we call God, Adonai. We do not call God Yahweh. Jews can pray by themselves, but we also pray in community in the synagogue. We are commanded to pray three times a day. Yahweh, by the way, is the way some people pronounce the Hebrew letters, yud, hey, vav, hey as the name of God is written in the Torah, and which Jews pronounce Adonai. The word yud, hey, vav, hey is actually a form of the Hebrew verb to be. We do not know the name of God, and therefore do not believe we are allowed to pronounce it. Orthodox Jews refer to God as HaShem, which is translated as "The Name."
